Overview
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the underlying cause of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and other proliferative diseases such as multicentric Castleman’s disease and a rare form of B-cell lymphoma, primary effusion lymphoma. The possible routes of transmission include, most commonly, saliva, sexual contact and bloody and transplant-related transmission. Thus, early diagnosis is essential as Kaposi Sarcoma is more likely to improve if treated earlier.
